Photo Explosion Overview
For a great way to add extra flair to your collection of photos, try Photo Explosion by Nova Development. With features ranging from special effects to project builders, this creative software option is a fun way to show off your photos. Photo Explosion is truly the ideal photo editing software for the whole family.
Usability
Photo Explosion, with their newly reorganized software layout, provides a very logical and practical way to utilize the program. The features are easy to find, with a basic tabbing system that makes manipulation a snap. With Photo Explosion you will never have to wander aimlessly within the software looking for the right command.
Importing Images
Photo Explosion allows you to import digital media in a number of ways. Similar to most editing programs, downloading from a digital camera is a simple process. You can also import scans or transfer directly from web-based sources.
Photo Editing
Photo Explosion Editing contains many of the necessary tools to fix image problems, such as red-eye, lighting issues and color correction. However, many of these problems can be fixed with Quick Fix Studio. This tool will straighten, crop, adjust brightness and more with one click; this means less work for you. Other features of Photo Explosion Editing are quite powerful, such as Makeover Studio. With Makeover Studio, you can work with built-in objects called layers that can be moved and edited independently of the original photo and other elements. The Extract Tool lets you combine parts of one image to another, while the Text Tool allows you to type text and easily go back to edit it at any time. Photo Explosion also comes with a variety of drawing tools that allow you to draw over any image in the viewer.
Photo Sharing
With thousands of project designs and over two hundred printing templates, Photo Explosion allows you to share your projects with ease. You can also share photos digitally both via the internet and through a variety of mobile devices with the help of the built-on photo optimizer. You can even take digital sharing to a new level by using the new iPhone app allowing you to manage your projects from your mobile device.
Output Capabilities
While not as complex as the most professionally geared photo editing software, Photo Explosion does allow the user to save files in a dozen different formats to maximize the output capacity. From printing to digital transferring, this program will meet all your basic needs.
Organization
While Photo Explosion is known for its family-friendly tools and exciting effects, the organization system is more basic. Designed to mirror the same system used by most operating systems for file storage, the organization is very logical but lacks the capability for dynamic searching.
